2G rear lower control arm bushing replacement

[2slow4now]

Just to clarify what arm I'm talking about on the driver side rear (all lower arms)you have a trailing arm then a front control arm and then the rear control arm. The rear arm with the eccentric bolt and balljoint is what I am talking about.

My question is that it has a replacable ball joint and it seems to be the same as the front end upper control arm ball joint but noone shows this ball joint as an available part.
Are they the same? Just order the ball joint from the front?

The other question is the bushing on the rear control arm looks just like the bushing that is available from oem on the rear front lower control arm.
Are they the same?

I have tried to push the balljoint out with no luck. However, I have done the full Prothane suspension and I ended up just getting all brand new lower control arms. I know you can get the ball joints but like I said, I had no luck with mine.

The arm you are talking about can be ordered, complete with balljoint, dust boot installed, and new bushing for like $40. Save yourself some work and buy the arm. You might as well get a new eccentric bolt for like $15 also since they dont come with one.

Oh yeah if your eccentric bolt is rust welded to the collar, you'll have to cut the old arm out.

Yeah thats what I figured out and I found a local nut and bolt shop that has grade 10 metric bolts for cheap! I got almost all the replacement bolts for the back end suspension for $15! just going to order the arms from oe. Thanks
